Lightning photography is boring af. Also you're adding nothing new or exciting here either (sorry)

Also it's out of focus.

4/10

Keep trying.

You lucked into a potentially great shot but unfortunately missed focus.

Also crop that shit down. Nothing happening in 3/4 of the frame.

>crop that shit
that's some of the worst fucking advice I've ever heard here. this photo makes good use of negative space and wouldn't be half as interesting without it. you're right about the focus though

Did your mom drink while she was pregnant or why did you put a fucking copyright with your name on a picture.

what is composition

The main focal point of the photo is a lighting strike, an unpredictable, random occurrence. You can compose the horizon, but you can't compose where the strike happens in the frame.

So try composing for a scene with interest outside of the lightning strike, so that the lightning strike becomes the focal point without being the only thing to look at. Helps to shoot a scene that's not completely pitch black, also.

this photo is worse than OP, ignoring the focus issue
you really don't know what the fuck you're talking about

>>3003873
Focus issue?

>>3003876
OP's photo is out of focus. or maybe it's shake.

>>3003877
It's definitely missed focus. Not that you can expect to focus well when there's basically no light in that scene at all.
